Long Beach authorities capture dog after woman attacked while on a walk

Long Beach authorities captured a dog that apparently attacked a woman while she was on a morning walk near the Los Angeles River, according to police. 

It happened at around 1:40 p.m. as the woman was walking near the river and Anaheim Street, Long Beach Police Department officers told CBS LA. They said that the woman was attacked by what she described as a pit bull, otherwise known as a Staffordshire Terrier. 

Police said that people in the area heard the woman yelling for help and called 911. When officers arrived, the dog ran from the area. 

On Monday, LBPD officials shared further information on the attack, including that officers used a "baton strike and deployed a conducted electrical weapon (commonly referred to as a taser) to separate the dog from the female."

They also said that it is believed that two dogs were involved in the attack ad that they're still looking into the incident.

The woman was rushed to a local trauma center for severe, but non-life-threatening injuries to her arms and legs, police said. 

Police and Los Angeles County Department of Animal Services personnel were searching for the dog on Sunday afternoon as they believed it was a danger to other residents.

Just after 4 p.m., Long Beach Fire Department crews said that the dog had been captured by Animal Services after it was located by an LBPD drone. It's unclear what the next steps for the dog will be.
